Lovely Tour Down Broad Creek w/ Captain Sebastian - A lovely tour down Broad Creek. We were able to see dolphins not far from the marina and throughout the entire trip. We went early so temps weren’t too hot yet. There are a bit of no wake zones but we used that time to talk about the ecosystem and local areas. Lots of bird sightings as well. Captain Sebastian was a wonderful guide and made our journey fun and educational. So happy we booked this tour.

Blast on the water - Had captain Dean Hager for our tour. He gave my wife and I a phenomenal experience out on the water. I lived on hilton head for 3 years doing zipline tours and he taught me things I didn't know. Definitely recommend and if you get Dean for a captain you'll have a great time.
